Inclusion Leaders
In today's diverse educational landscape, ensuring equitable access to learning materials is paramount for educators. This professional development opportunity is tailored to empower both general education and Exceptional Student Education (ESE) teachers with the knowledge and skills to create inclusive and accessible learning experiences using Canvas. This session will delve into the principles of Universal Design Learning (UDL) and how they can be effectively applied within Canvas, a versatile learning management system. Participants will explore strategies for designing instruction that accommodate the diverse needs of all learners, including those with disabilities and varying learning styles. Through hands-on demonstrations, interactive discussions, and practical exercises, participants will gain valuable insights into leveraging Canvas as a powerful platform for inclusive instruction. Facilitators will provide guidance and support to help educators effectively implement UDL principles and customize Canvas to meet the diverse needs of their students. By the conclusion of this session, educators will be equipped with the tools, strategies, and confidence to design and deliver accessible Canvas lessons that foster a supportive learning environment for all students. Join us in embracing Universal Design Learning and harnessing Canvas's full potential to ensure that every student has the opportunity to succeed.
